Time series of scientific survey estimates of fisheries resources are used to measure
changes in stock size and composition. Standardization of sampling equipment and
design is regarded crucial for reliable trawl and ...

Studying the sublethal effects of catch-and-release (C&R) is challenging, as there are several potential sources of bias. For example, if behavioural alterations immediately after the release event are to be studied, ...

SulfoSYS (Sulfolobus Systems Biology) focuses on the study of the CCM (central carbohydrate metabolism)
of Sulfolobus solfataricus and its regulation under temperature variation at the systems level. In Archaea,
carbohydrates ...

One of the major threats to Lake Victoria is eutrophication and an increasing proliferation of
cyanobacteria. Many cyanobacterial species have the ability to produce toxic compounds
(cyanotoxins), which can cause ...

This thesis investigates mesozooplankton abundance, composition and distribution in
Svalbard waters in relation to hydrography. Sampling was carried out in the archipelago
of Svalbard mainly during summer and autumn ...

Animals partition and trade off their resources between competing needs such as growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Over a lifetime, allocation strategies should result in distinct trajectories for growth, survival, and ...

Recruitment through seeds is a critical process in the life history of plants. Better knowledge about this process may be helpful in predicting species ranges and range shifts under climate change.
In western Norway, ...

Salmonid alphavirus (SAV) causes disease in farmed salmonid fish and is divided into different genetic subtypes (SAV1-6). Here we report the cloning and characterization of the 5'- and 3'- untranslated regions (UTR) of a ...

Alignments of homologous genomic sequences are widely used to identify functional genetic elements and study their evolution. Most studies tacitly equate homology of functional elements with sequence homology. This assumption ...
